Highlighting the positives; Nigeria turned 50!!!



I'm sure many are wondering why FAB was so quiet as Nigeria celebrated it's 50th anniversary. I am proud to be a Nigerian, but truth be told there is so much negativity presently surrounding Nigeria and the celebration of it's independence, that one could do nothing but watch and pray.

In searching for some positivity while scrolling through my twitter timeline, I came across a link posted by Ezzie B (writer of http://www.sexandlasgidi.com/) titled "10 Things You Can Learn From Nigeria" written by The Atlanta Post. Excited to have found something positive written about Nigeria, I felt it important to share this with all of you!

1. How To Write A Universal Literary Gem Set in Africa
2. How To Make Art A Weapon for Revolution
3. How to Leverage Your Knowledge of Petrol and Start a Multi-Billion Dollar Oil Business

As much as there is much negativity surrounding Nigeria, we cannot ignore the immense amount of positivity associated with Nigeria. Although some choose to focus on the negatives, we cannot let this consume us and deter us from further success. Africa as a continent has come a long way in the past 50 years, and the beauty and success generated from Nigeria should not go uncelebrated.

Hopefully we can make the next 50 years better than the last :-D

Stay FAB!!
